The reasons why I don't post velocitie signatures is because deciphering velocities in rotating cells is often not nearly as straightforward as a lot of peoples thinking. You have to really know what you're doing, or it's very easy to make big mistakes reading srorm velocitie signatures.

Prayers for Mr. deek

Pray for @RevWarReenactor. I have been tasked with the unpleasant duty of informing you all that is currently in the hospital with a severe kidney stone episode that has possibly led to kidney failure after eating a Big Arch and it’s questionable if he’s going to make it. I know some in this sub don’t see eye to eye with him but he’s still human and some things transcend message board drama.

Actual low here last night was 28 and some residual snow and ice melt brings my total tally to 1.7”, which I believe puts me amongst the highest totals in the state for yesterday. Neat.

I was looking back at the SPC mesoanalysis from yesterday and parameters were really not all that impressive outside of the shear and low level winds. I just don’t think we had sufficient enough mixing out of the boundary layer or daytime heating (lots of cloud cover) to really tap into much potential. DCAPE’s were only on the order of a few hundred j/kg. Standard CAPE’s were only about 500 or so at best down south where there were still a decent amount of severe wind reports. But I noticed from the SPC map ITT shared up above that they were all of the standard severe wind variety, with 0 tornado or 75mph or greater reports. Short range meso models were hinting at these limitations some which was why I was reserved on the severe potential a bit. I was still concerned some, I was figuring on a couple spin ups so I’m surprised there weren’t any reports at all. But would I have claimed essentially the weather rapture if I had 243k followers? Probably not haha. If we would have had the air mass we had last week when we were basking in the upper 70s- upper 80s in the Mid-Atlantic this absolutely would have been a much more significant event. At any rate, more locally mesoanalysis had a persistent area of CIN in the Lower Sus Valley. Low level stability is going to cap transferring the really high winds to the surface. The radars not very detailed on these maps but that was the cluster that popped a couple tornado warnings in MD before it moved into southern PA. This map is showing mixed layer CAPE (red), CIN (blue dashed), and effective bulk shear (wind barb).

our last snow last year was in mid April.. hoping for the same this year

I had about 15 inches in March 2018. All the coastals bombed out too late or far to the east.

When I lived in CO ski country I used to go through that same weird transition. The month of May is the single worst time to visit or live in ski country. We called it mud season. Everything soggy, rivers too high to fish, lakes still frozen, and too much leftover snowpack for back country hiking/biking. It really sucked. After my first season I learned and would take the whole month off and travel to see friends in the east. Then my summer job would start memorial day weekend. Deep creek is totally similar. I recommend traveling and partying heavily until the lake season kicks in hahaha

Logan still does not have a dedicated observer the field but the observer is in East Boston.

Still light snow falling and 18 in Wolf. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

I have totally given up hope for Mammoth. Only 8 long desolate months til Sierran Winter. I guess they only get snow from November to February. I hate Global Warming. Fuck Fuck Fuck FUCK! I was fooking CHEATED! Lucy is a hard hitter, especially in the Sierra.

The 8.8” of snow at MSP contained 0.75” of water content for a SLR of approx 12:1

Huh! I reached out to him privately in preparation to going to BC a few years ago about staying in Rossland. He was very nice and helpful with recommendations and what not. I assumed he was originally from around here before moving there but I guess I was wrong. RIP

Had a high today of 34 degrees with a current temp of 31. Impressive for today.

Got a picture of the mountains this afternoon in the Hall of Fame area of downtown. Then I asked ChatGPT to remove the clouds. .

Philly subforum is lame. He will be here posting with Ralph and Heisy.

Anyone heard about the entire lower Mississippi draining away thru deep fissures? Barge traffic is halted. Strait of Hormuz is not our only problem. Look for many items to become highly expensive. Barge folks will use trucking and rail lines and it will cost big time, Guess who gets to pay it? All of us. Man, America is falling completely apart. Bridges over the Mississippi will collapse because they were never engineered for such low water levels. They are saying all the water draining away in the fissures beneath the Mississippi will make the New Madrid Fault let go at 10 plus on the Richter Scale. Also, Sierras hitting 64/47 just like in high summer over there. Early snowmelt, NO WATER come Summer. NONE at all. In fact, it IS full Summer at Mammoth now. Steady state 60s for highs, upper 40s even 50s for lows! Hell they were warmer than we were in Buda two days ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever ripped on the Blue Mountain out my way was nasty. 309 was closed for 14 hours for cleanup. My night shift partner hit it and thought it was going to flip the truck.

As long as we keep a fire going, the heat from the stovepipe creates a hollow cavity around the stack, even if the snow accumulates a foot or two higher than the pipe. But obviously shovel it out as soon as possible just to keep it free and clear and to avoid ice issues. The first thing I did when moving here was to reroute the furnace exhaust off the roof and have it exit the sidewall up high just beneath the roof soffit. That worked out well until this year. Keeping the snow cleared is a job you def don't want to fall behind on.

I was gonna post a picture of the 2" I got but nvm

I was just reviewing 93/94 winter 87" up here seemed similar to this year

Back to winter today. Around 3" here on the deck. Jackpot was right around 87, there looked to be 4-6" in that area. I missed out on the meteor, but some pretty incredible videos of it out there!

Nice one in the south hills right now .

Back to the midgets here. After the Jan 25-27 fluff bomb we were 31% over the average YTD. The 7 weeks since are just over 50%, and falling.

Damn you are leaving us, sad news.
